@zapdafish yes, we expect to be taking orders before the end of the month. If you don't want to wait, certainly understand.

I almost pre-ordered before seeing this thread. I'll wait. The workstation looks really nice and will solve a separate problem so I don't need to build an overly-specific jig. I do hope the guy doing the videos describes his special spoil board and what he uses it for.

hrmm, this is part of the email I got which I interpreted to mean I get the free Sys-1 if pre-order from a dealer or if I click the button but now I see it can be interpreted the free sys-1 only comes by clicking the button.

Well, that time has come—you can now Pre-Order your Workstation and redeem your free SYS-1 by clicking the button below or placing a pre-order with any of our 70+ dealers.

The wording is confusing. I’d read it that you can order from dealers as well.

Someone on the shaper forum confirmed thru experience that the only way to get the sys1 was using the email link we received.

As of 10/17 I am out of the Dog business and pursuing other distractions. Thanks for a fun ride!

As of it being a giveaway the framing it as a discount is intentionally misleading and as of that (at least in sane jurisdictions) a banned form of advertising. No clue about the US, but stuff like this has a good chance to end in (lost) litigation when performed in the EU - as marketing overdid it with thinking it being a good idea to slightly overprice a toothpick* as an automatically added giveaway so they can claim to discount you more than the GDP of a first world nation* only if you buy now, quick hard enough that even the lawyers that write our laws were appalled enough to put a stop to it.

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with them throwing in that thing as a gift - my issue is with the way they do it.

*) the item and the amount are irrelevant and exaggeration was used to illustrate this particular scam.

There are two offers available with respect to the new Workstation. If you purchase just the Workstation, you will get a free Shaper SYS 1 Systainer. If you purchase the Workstation with the Origin, you save $50 instantly. The two offers cannot be combined.

Thanks in advance to those who have waited to order from us. Very much appreciated!

“Scam” is a bit harsh here mate. There is nothing shady about the guys at Shaper. I met them 2 years ago and they are a great company with a great product. They clearly outline what they are doing and what you get. If you think getting a free item valued at x is a scam, I guess you are just that type.

By the way, I have some waterfront property for you... I just need to get it from my friend. He is an African prince.

Cheers. Bryan.

People, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along? Can we get along?

thanks, finally saw enough regarding a feature I wanted to place my order. You would think the emails from Shaper would have had a link to more detailed videos like this. The ones I could find were just fluff.
